Liesbet Colson started in the Marine Biology lab helping with processing and identifying macrobenthic samples in the framework of the impact of windmill farms and beach nourishment on the macrobenthos community. In 2013 she started her personal project in collaboration with the Institute for Agricultural and Fisheries Research (ILVO) about the impact of foreshore nourishment on the local fauna (macro-, hyper- and epibenthos and demersal fish) .
